Towing a car (Opel Vectra B)

For towing, find an experienced assistant in this matter, so that due to an unprofessional approach you do not cause even more damage. And think about the following: when the engine is not running, the brake booster and, if there is one, the servo control do not work either!

Turn on the ignition, put the transmission in 2nd gear and depress the clutch pedal.

The towing vehicle must move off slowly.

At approximately 15 km/h, slowly engage the clutch, while placing your right hand on the handbrake.

If the engine starts, press the clutch pedal and give it gas.

Apply the handbrake gently to avoid crashing into the car in front.

Sound the horn to the driver of the towing vehicle.

Shift down, release the clutch pedal.

Apply the handbrake gently along with the towing vehicle.

Tip: In cars with a catalytic converter, it is often warned against rolling, pushing and towing. If the engine does not start due to a discharged battery, this is not dangerous. The situation is different if there is a defect in the ignition system: in this case, unburned particles of the combustible mixture can burn out and raise the temperature in the catalytic converter to a dangerous level.
